Project Title: Spring Creek Road lmprovement Project Phase 2
Project Summary: Describe the public infrastructure project and the private development that will occur. Explain why
the private development requires the public infrastructure project:
The City of Yakima recognized the need for a multi -sports campus with adequate faclllties to host regional
tournaments as well as local activities as a goal of this community. In 2015 the City of Yakima and SOZO Sports
of Central Washington (SOZO) realized the construction of the YMCA at Chesterley Park and the expansion J.M.
Perry Technical Institute would further diminish the number of available recreational fields around Yakima, creating
a challenge for both youth and adultteams to find adequate places to play. The City ofYakima and SOZO partnered
to develop a family -oriented Championship Sports Complex in Central Washington. The multi -sports campus at
ultimate buildout will contain adequate facilltles to host regional tournaments as well as local activities. SOZO
focus includes recreational, select, premier, and regional programs, as well as bringing major annual tournaments
to the valley. The CIty of Yakima commissioned an independent Economic and Fiscal lmpact Analysis for the 58-
acre Phase 1 of the SOZO Sports Campus. The study concluded the facility would have significant regional benefit
including indirect spending, induced spending, increased earnings and increased employment. In addition to the
previous stated increases, the campus has resulted in the construction of two new hotels to service the added
travelers, and it has aided in attracting several new national restaurant chains to further service the SOZO Sports
Campus patrons. Therefore, the regional benefit included increased spending, increased earnings, increased
employment, new indirect employment in the new hotel and restaurants, and new lndlrect tax base for the City.
SOZO Sports, the City of Yakima, and IocaI donors invested approximately $6 milllon in developing the 58-acre, 13
field, and associated support building in Phase 1 of the SOZO Sports Campus. In 2016, the City of Yaklma further
participated by securing a $1.8 mililon SIED loan for the construction of Spring Creek Road Improvement Project
Phase 1, $900,000 in the form of a grant, and $900,000 in the form of a low interest loan. As a result of the SIED
loan for Spring Creek Road Improvement Project Phase 1, the City of Yakima was able to construct approximately
4,600 lineal feet of road improvements for a portlon of S. 36th Avenue, Sorenson Road, and S. 38th Avenue.
SOZO's "No Child Left lnside" movement, emphasizes there is a home for every player, where the Campus is a
community hub. SOZO Sports Campus has become home to First Tee of Central Washington (Yakima) practice
facility, and continues to increase usership with local grid kid, rugby, and lacrosse teams added to the multi -sport
recreational teams using the campus facilities.
SOZO is seeking to develop an additional 52-acre Phase 2 campus expansion project, on 60 acres of land Iocated
west of the existing SOZO Sports Campus on the corner of Sorenson Road and South 36th Avenue. SOZO Phase
2 campus improvements will add nine additional outdoor fields, an 80,000 square foot indoor arena with three
indoor fields, and a 13,500 square foot field house. The Phase 2 project has an estimated build out cost of
$14,000,000 and is scheduled begin in Spring 2021. The developer anticlpates construction of phase 2 to be
completed in 2023.
Phase 2 of SOZO muItisports campus expands facilities needed to host regional tournaments, including ability to
service Iocal sports activities. The Economic and Fiscal Impact Analysis accurately predicted the 58-acre Phase 1
of the SOZO Sports Campus would have significant regional benefits inchiding increased spending, iricreased
earnings, increased employment, new businesses, and increased tax base for the City. Therefore, it is anticipated
the Phase 2 expansion would further increase spending, earnings, employment, new businesses, and tax base.
Phase 2 expansion will result in the construction of another new hotel to service the added travelers and new
national restaurant chains to further service the SOZO Sports Campus patrons. Adjacent property owners have
strong interest from new businesses interested in constructing facilities that will support SOZO, or just located in
the area due to the improved Spring Creek Road. The SOZO Phase 2 expansion will include an anticipated
equivalent of 90 full time jobs, with additional jobs added indirectly by speculative neighboring development.
SOZO Sports Campus Phase 2 expansion requires public infrastructure improvements to construct 5,000 lineal
feet of Spring Creek Road. The road will be constructed to a 42 -foot paved section from the termination of Spring
Creek Road Phase 1 improvements to W. Washington Avenue. The road will consist of two 20.5 -foot lanes from the
face of the curbs and gutters with construction of drainage facilities for both east and westbound lanes, a 6.5 -foot
concrete sidewalk on one side of the road with ADA compliant ramps, and driveway entrances. The improvements
also include rerouting portions of Spring Creek, constructing new culverts, and mitigating wetlands through a
relocation process.
Spring Creek Road Improvement Project Phase 2 construction documents and wetland mitigation plans and
approvals were prepared as part of the funds secured during the Spring Creek Road Improvement Project Phase
1. The Spring Creek Road Improvement Project Phase 2 is shovel -ready. The City is planning to advertise for bids
in the Winter of 2020 for spring construction, contingent on complete funding.

Other Benefits of the Public Infrastructure Project:
In addition to servicing the proposed development, this project will provide important infrastructure to increase
connectivity to the City's transportation network, including transit, vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians. Spring
Creek Road borders the west end of Yakima Air Terminal — McAllister Field, and the road improvements
significantly improve the ability of law enforcement, fire, and ambulance services to access areas south of the
airport resulting in reduced response times.
This project will also promote future growth and utilization of undeveloped land east of S. 36th Avenue. Adjacent
property owners have had strong interest from a number of businesses interested in constructing facilities that
would support SOZO, or just interested in locating to the area due to the improved Spring Creek Road. The
properties are currently vacant, in part, due to the substandard access road, and in part due to the need for SOZO
to expand their facility.
SOZO expansion will result in the construction of another new hotel to service the added travelers, and additional
new national restaurant chains to further service the SOZO Sports Campus patrons.

A2. Will this project upgrade an existing public facility or build a new one? Upgrade Existing
Describe the entire public facility project, including the parts that you are not asking SIED to fund.
Spring Creek Road Improvement Project Phase 2 improves approximately 5,000 lineal feet Spring Creek
Road. The road will be constructed to a 42 -foot paved section from the termination of Spring Creek Road
Phase 1 improvements to W. Washington Avenue. The road will consist of two 20.5 -foot lanes from the face
of the curbs and gutters with construction of drainage facilities for both east and westbound lanes, street
lights, a 6.5 -foot concrete sidewalk on one side of the road with ADA compliant ramps, and driveway
entrances. The improvements also include rerouting of portions of Spring Creek, constructing new
culverts, and mitigating wetlands through a relocation process.
A3. Specifically, for what element(s) of the public project are SIED funds requested?
SIED funds will be used, in conjunction with local funds (bonds), for the public roadway expansion project
which will extend 5,000 lineal feet of Spring Creek Road from the termination of Spring Creek Road Phase
1 improvements to W. Washington Avenue. The City of Yakima is requesting a partnership in the
construction of the roadway.
A4. Describe how the public facility project will enhance or encourage other development in the immediate area in
addition to the direct development described in this application section C.
Spring Creek Road Improvement Project Phase 2 construction improvements will open 156 acres zoned
Light Industrial, and 60 acres zoned Suburban Residential with access from Spring Creek Road. The 52
acres of Suburban Residential property will be immediately developed as SOZO Phase 2 improvements. A
condition of SOZO Phase 2 development is that Spring Creek Road Improvement Project Phase 2 will be
completed prior to occupancy. SOZO Phase 2 Full build -out area anticipates an economic benefit of $10
million annually.
This project will inject immediate and much needed economic stimulus dollars into the City of Yakima's
economy through the creation of construction jobs. In the long-term, opening access to additional SOZO
and neighboring property along Spring Creek Road will invigorate development and provide direct access
to the greater commercially zoned property the City cannot currently access without Spring Creek Road
Improvement Project Phase 2, allowing for the creation of jobs. Full build -out of the 96 acres of adjacent
Light Industrial property anticipates an economic benefit of $19 million annually.

A8. What other jurisdictions, such as counties, cities, port districts, tribes, state/federal agencies are involved in the
planning, design, financing, construction or operation of this project?
Yakima Couritv
Please explain how completion of the project is coordinated between other involved parties.
The City of Yakima and Yakima County were both co -lead agencies of the SEPA process for park complex
approval. In addition, Yakima County designed the street improvement project for the City of Yakima and
assisted in the right of way acquisition process.
A9. Will the SIED public facility project be totally maintained by the applicant? If not, whom? Please explain.
The SIED funded project will be completely maintained by the City of Yakima.
A10. How will this project impact utility rates and public services within the jurisdiction?
There will be no impacts to utility rates as the result of this project, but public services will be increased as
public road, water, and sewer are extended through future commercial development and additional
residential areas. As a result of the increase in tax revenue associated with the new development and the
normal water and sewer charges to customers, it does not appear that increased utility rates will be
required. The City will supply necessary public utility services, with Nob Hill Water providing water
services.

Bi continued: Provide a narrative of the investigation of the above referenced funding sources and the outcomes:
The Spring Creek Road Improvement Project Phase 2 cost exceeds 4.45 million dollars. The City believes
that SIED funds are the most efficient resource combined with local bond funds for this project because of
the need and broad community benefit. The public benefit from this project will have long term and broad
economic impacts throughout Yakima County, not just limited to the immediate development area.
In the context of the local governments overall annual budget, explain the need for SIED assistance. If the
applicant has budget reserves, please explain why these funds are not available for the project.
The City of Yakima does not have funds available to directly fund a project of this magnitude. Originally,
the project was estimated to be considerably less than the current estimate of $4.5 million. The increase
in estimated costs can be primarily attributed to required over -excavation of unsuitable soils, stormwater
system, illumination system, and wetland mitigation. The City's existing budget for transportation
improvements is very limited and primarily focuses on maintaining existing roads, with no reserves
available.
B3. Identify funds (General Fund, Utility Fund, Property taxes, etc.) that are eligible to repay a SIED loan:
The City will utilize a combination of reserves, property taxes, construction sales tax, retail sales tax, and
bond revenues for repayment of the SIED loan funded portion of Spring Creek Road Improvement Project
Phase 2. The City will also use general obligation bond funds for the remaining $2.47 million of construction
project to match the SIED funds.
Will a revenue stream be generated that could repay a SIED loan outside of the system's normal operations and
maintenance costs? If yes, please explain:
The improvements will generate property and sales taxes for the City due to improvements in the developed
area and additional businesses throughout the City due to the expansion of SOZO. Tax revenue generated
from the SOZO sports project alone will not likely cover ongoing SIED loan repayments. However, tax
revenue generated from the additional indirect spending and new businesses, combined with SOZO sports
project is anticipated to fund the SIED loan repayments. The City of Yakima plans to use general fund to
supplement the tax generated to repay the SIED loan.
B4. If the local jurisdiction is not financially contributing to the project, please explain why,
The City is committed to the SIED loan repayment.
C. Private Sector Project Complete Section C and a Contingency Agreement for each
private sector entity.
In order to show that a specific private investment is ready to occur, but will do so only if SIED assistance is made
available to the applicant, SIED requires a signed Contingency Agreement(s) between the applicant and the private sector
representative(s). If a developer is involved, there must also be a signed Contingency Agreement between the developer
and the proposed tenant.

C1. Describe the private development that will be supported by the public infrastructure/facility project.
The City of Yakima and SOZO Sports of Central Washington (SOZO) partnered to develop a family-oriented
Championship Sports Complex in Central Washington. The multi -sports campus hosts regional
tournaments as well as local activities. SOZO provides facilities for recreational, select, premier,
and regional programs, as well as bringing major annual tournaments to the valley. The Phase 1, 58 -acre
site, includes 13 fields, a 14,000 square foot building, and First Tee of Central Washington (Yakima) practice
facility. SOZO Sports Campus provides services for events, receptions, soccer games and tournaments,
football, lacrosse, clinics, volleyball, pickleball, rugby, concerts, and First Tee.
SOZO will be expanding to develop an additional 52 -acre Phase 2 campus located west of the existing
SOZO Sports Campus. SOZO Phase 2 campus improvements expands to a combined total of 22 outdoor
fields, an 80,000 square foot indoor arena with three indoor fields, and a 13,500 square foot field house.
The Phase 2 project has an estimated build out cost of $14,000,000 and is scheduled begin in Spring 2021.
The developer anticipates construction of phase 2 to be completed in 2023. The expanded SOZO Sports
Campus will continue to provide services for events, receptions, soccer games and tournaments, football,
lacrosse, clinics, volleyball, pickleball, rugby, concerts, and First Tee, as well as look for additional
opportunities.
Phase 2 expansion will likely result in the construction of another hotel to service the added tournament
travelers, and new national restaurant chains to further service the SOZO Sports Campus patrons.
Adjacent property owners have indicated considerable interest for new development opportunities aimed
at providing services to the expand SOZO Sports Campus.
Ca Explain why the private development requires the proposed public infrastructure improvements
described in this application.
SOZO Sports, the City of Yakima, and local donors invested approximately $6 million in developing the 58 -
acre, 13 field, and associated support building in Phase 1 of the SOZO Sports Campus. The City of Yakima
further participated by securing SIED funding for the construction of Spring Creek Road Improvement
Project Phase 1, to construct 4,600 lineal feet of road improvements for a portion of S. 36th Avenue,
Sorenson Road, and S. 38th Avenue.
The existing roadway does not afford good current or long-term access to the SOZO site. The existing
street network is in poor condition and not intended to support urban development. Full development of
the 110 -acre site will generate approximately 1,783 weekday PM Peak hour vehicle trips (in and out). Traffic
capacity exists both on Ahtanum Road and West Washington Avenue, however the adjoining Spring Creek
Road requires upgrades to handle the increased traffic. A traffic study and operational analysis was
prepared by Kittelson & Associates to identify the necessary improvements, by development phase of the
park to ensure appropriate and safe public access is provided with minimal negative impact to existing
properties. The proximity of the Yakima Airport, and adjacent wetlands and flood plains, road
improvements must be carefully implemented.
Public/private partnership presents a financing solution and provides municipalities with improvements
and infrastructure needed to continue to grow their tax base. It also clearly recognized that the Spring
Creek Road Improvement Project Phase 2 is a "partnering effort" with public and private funding resources.
Therefore, without the SIED funding requested, the SOZO expansion will be delayed, and none of the
ancillary business expansion will be possible without sole private investment. The financial market and
budget constraints place this infrastructure improvement project out of reach for the City of Yakima without
SIED funding assistance.
C3. Indicate the construction schedule (if applicable) for the proposed private sector project.

Permits to complete the Private Project must be secured within one year of a SIED offer of financial aid
C5. What private authorizations remain prior to proceeding with the proposed private development project?
SOZO's expansion is permitted, but cannot proceed until the Spring Creek Road Improvements project
is complete, as conditioned by the SOZO SEPA process. The City of Yakima agreed to partner with
SOZO's expansion by taking responsibility of the Spring Creek Road Improvements project. However,
without a complete funding package for the Spring Creek Road Improvements, the public infrastructure
project cannot move forward, and in turn, the private investment project is stalled.
C6. Explain how the private sector is financing their capital investment in this project.
SOZO Sports has been actively fund raising from this community for 5 years, and has approximately $8
million dedicated towards the Phase 2 expansion. SOZO Sports Phase 2 has many components, and
financing is already in place to cover the shortfalls in the fundraising construction budget. SOZO will
continue fund raising to obtain the additional funds as necessary to combine with income generated by
events to complete the Phase 2 construction.
C6 continued: When will private sector financing be in place?
Following the completion of Spring Creek Road Improvement Project Phase 2. See above.
Please list financial references that can verify financing sources and capacity for this project.

C8. How were job projections developed? Explain how the projections are realistic.
$12 - $22
The original SOZO Sports Campus job projections were developed by Johnson Consulting (Chicago,
Illinois), hired by the City of Yakima to prepare the "Yakima Sports Complex Economic & Fiscal Impact
Analysis" report, Final Draft dated January 12, 2016. This firm specializes in analysis for conventions,
hospitality, sport, and real estate projects.
The study concludes that by Year 5 the cost of operation is stabilized and supported by events. Total
spending by year 5 is estimated at $8.6 Million, $2 Million in increased earnings, 95 jobs and $570,000 of
tax earnings. They project approximately 9,800 hotel room nights in Year 1, increasing to approximately
39,500 room nights by Year 5.

SOZO estimated a more conservative number of 68 FTEs by year three, and currently employs 45 FTE's.
The current projections were developed by the current staff and board of directors as part of their Phase
2 development plans. They relied on operational experience to produce conservative growth projections
which resulted in the numbers shown.
The initial staffing increase is a result of doubling the number of fields and construction of the 80,000
square foot indoor arena and 13,500 square foot field house. The long-term increase in FTE's would
result from normal growth of the SOZO Sports Campus as it becomes a mainstay for regional
tournaments, and local events.
C9. Will this project move existing jobs from another part of the county? If yes, please describe why the project
cannot happen where the jobs are currently located.
The "# of Jobs Retained" column are existing FTE's currently working at the SOZO Sports Campus, and
no jobs will be relocated. Job creation will likely occur with both current residents of Yakima County
and new residents recruited to the community. However, it is likely an outreach to prospective
employees throughout Yakima County will be undertaken to provide for the best qualified applicants.
C10. INill the private sector project offer expanded employment opportunities to disadvantaged or unemployed
workers? How will the firm work to hire people from Yakima County?
The street improvement project will be a public works project of the City of Yakima. All required public
notice, MWBE criteria and prevailing wage standards will be observed. The City of Yakima prefers to
hire local firms as available.
The proximity to low income areas offers close job opportunities to disadvantaged and currently
unemployed workers. All appropriate work source agencies will be contacted to provide prospective
job applicants and there will be a clear focus on hiring disadvantaged and unemployed individuals,
depending on job skills. The private sector will give careful consideration to all applicants and if
necessary, provide the following services to better enable all applicants to be "job ready":
transportation -training -housing -clothing allowances and other necessities needed to provide
productive employment.
There are numerous agencies throughout Yakima County for employee referrals, including work source
agencies that focus on disadvantaged and unemployed individuals.

CONTINGENCY AGREEMENT
1. PARTIES.
The parties to this Agreement are City ufYakima whose address is 129 N. 2nd Street, Yakimo, WA 98901 and SOZO
Sports of Central Washington whose address is 2200 S. 361h Avenue, Yakima, WA 98903.
2. PURPOSE'
The purpose ofthis Agreement is to clarify the intentions ofthe parties regarding completion ofthe Spring Creek Road
Improvement Project Phase 2 which will utilize in part loan and grant funds received from the Supporting Investments in
Economic Development Board (SIED) administered by the Yakima Community Development Association.
The project includes construction of5.00U lineal feet nfSpring Creek Road. Spring Creek Road Improvement Project
Phase will be constructed to a 42-foot paved section from the termination of Spring Creek Road Phase 1 improvements
to W. Washington Avenue. The road will consist of two 20.5-foot lanes from the face of the curbs and gutters with
construction of drainage facilities for both east and westbound lanes, a 6.5-foot oononeba sidewalk on one side of the
road with ADAcompliant ramps, and driveway entrances. The improvements also include rerouting portions ofSpring
Creek, constructing new culverts, and mitigating wetlands through a relocation process. These street improvements are
planned to complement Spring Creek Rued and o||mw the expansion of Yohimo'o sporting campus business/
development partners SOZO Sports of Central Washington to combine investments in the community's economic vitality.
3. BACKGROUND.
The Spring Creek Road Improvement Project Phase will provide much needed improved aooeoo to the SOZO Sports
campus and neighboring undeveloped commercial property. The existing roadway does not afford good current orlong-
term access hothe 8O2Oado. The existing street network io in poor condition and not intended to support urban
development. TnoMic capacity exists both on Ahbanum Road and West Washington Axanue, however the adjoining
Spring Creak Road requires upgrades to handle the increased traffic. An operational analysis determined it was
necessary to improve Spring Creek Road to ensure appropriate and safe public access is provided with minimal negative
impact boexisting properties, In addition to servicing the proposed development, this project will provide important
infrastructure to increase connectivity to the C|ty'o transportation network, including tnanoit, vehio|po, bicycles, and
pedestrians.
This project will also promote future growth and utilization ofundeveloped land east of S. 36th Avenue. Adjacent property
owners have had strong interest from o number ofbusinesses interested in constructing facilities that would support
SO2O, nrjust interested in locating tothe area due to the improved Spring Creek Road. The properties are currently
vacant, in part, due to the substandard access road, and in part due to the need for SOZO to expand their facility.
The project area is within existing municipal boundaries and is consistent with comprehensive planning for the area. The
SOZO expansion will contribute to the economic stability of the community; provide additional tax and revenue sources;

CONTINGENCY AGREEMENT
1. PARTIES.
The parties to this Agreement are City of Yakima whose address is12AN.2"Street, Yakima, WA 98901 and SOZO
Sports of Central Washington whose address is 2200 S. 36th Avenue, Yakima, WA 98903.
2. PURPOSE.
The purpose of this Agreement is to clarify the intenons of the parties regarding completion of the Spring CreeRoad
Improvement Project Phase 2 which will utilizehn partloonandgrontfundonecmived from the Supporting Investments in
Economic Development Board (SIED) administered by the Yakima Community Development Association.
The project irucludes construction of 5000 linealfeet of SSpring Creek Road Improvemerit Project
Phase 2 will be constructed to a 42 -foot paved section from the termination of Spring Creek Road Phase 1 improvements
to W. Washington Avenue. The road will consist of two 20.54bot lanes from the face of the curbs and gutters with
construction of drainage facilities for both east and westbound lanes, a 8.5 -foot concrete sidewalk on one side of the
road with ADA compliant ramps, and driveway entrances. The improvements also include rerouting portions of Spring
Creek, constructing new culverts, and mitigating wetlands through a relocation process. These street improvements are
planned to complement Spring Creek Road and allow the expansion of Yakima's sporting campus business/
development partners SOZO Sports of Central Washington to combine investments in the community's economic vitality.
3. BACKGROUND.
The Spring Creek Road Improvement ProjecPhase 2 wilprovide much needed improved access to the SOZO Sports
campus and neighboring undeveloped commercial property. The existing roadway does not afford good current or long-
term access to the SOZO site. The existing street network is in poor condition and not intended to support urban
development. Traffic capacity exists both on Ahtanum Road and West Washington Avanue, however the adjoining
Spring Creek Road requires upgrades to handle the increased traffic. An operational analysis determined it was
necessary to improve Spring Creek Road to ensure appropriate and safe public access is provided with minimal negative
impact to existing properties. In addition to servicing the proposed deve|opment, this project will provide important
infrastructure to increase connectivity to the City's transportation notvork, including trannit, vehideo. bicyc|ae, and
pedestrians.
This project will also promote future growth and utilization of undeveloped land east of S. 36thAvenue. Adjacent property
owners have had strong interest from a number of businesses interested in constructing facilities thawould support
SOZO, or just interested in ocating to the area due to the improved Spring Creek Road. The properties are currently
vaoont, in part, due to the substandard access road, and in part due to the need for SOZO to expand their facility.
The project area is within existing municipaboundaries and is consistent with comprehensive planning for the area. The
SOZO expansion will contribute to the economic stability of the community; provide additional tax and revenue sources;
retain and increase employment opportunities and capital investment; and otherwise support the planned development
of the City of Yakima. •
4. AGREEMENT.
The parties of this Agreement acknowledge the mutual covenants and commitments contained herein and agree as
A. The public facilities project shall be constructed as a public project by the CITY OF YAKIMA in accordance with
applicable law, rules, and regulations. The funding of the project shall be as follows:
a) The CITY hereby agrees to construct the Spring Creek Road Improvement Project Phase 2, providing that SI ED
financing is approved.
Application for Fundinq., 2028 Page 17 Yakima County S/EDProgram

retained with respect to the public facility project and attendant development will be approximately 60 first year jobs
and an additional 30 jobs created by year 2023.
c) SOZO Sports of Central Washington will invest up to $14,000,000 in construction of the SOZO Sports Campus Phase
project.
d) SOZO Sports of Central Washington will work with business that can contact the local Workforce Development
Council (WDC) and the State Employment Department or Community Based Organization for assistance in filling

convincing evidence of private development as required by SIED.

EXAMPLE
• TOPIC
o VISION
• GOALS/ACTIVITIES
• EXPLANATION
• TOPIC: Board Relations
o VISION: Create an open and transparent relationship with BOD
• Create an organizational structure that promotes the sharing
of information and ideas among staff members and BOD.
Report on a regular basis to BOD on successes, issues and
resources needed.
Set up a board committee structure to develop more outreach
to not only current clients but possible new ones to expand
our footprint in the community.
Continue to develop our long-range plan for our undeveloped
property with a long-range facility committee.
Update our SWOT analysis with both BOD and staff
involvement.
Update our economic impact study when possible. It will be
important to have when making our case to government
entities for funds.
Develop a budget for the 2020 year.
Do routine email updates to keep BOD apprised of what is
happening at Sozo Sports.
• TOPIC: Community Outreach/In-reach/Public Relations
o VISION: Promote our organization to the community to help them
understand who we are, what we do and what we plan to do.
▪ Set up community focus groups and schedule more meetings
at SOZO to introduce and expose more people to our complex.
• Develop new PowerPoints to educate on SOZO as we
develop.
• Schedule presentations for as many groups as possible.
Not just to service groups but athletic groups including
grid kids, volleyball, golf and soccer.
Increase activity on both SOZO and YYSA websites and
Facebook pages telling our story.
Have staff be more involved with City and County activities and
join boards when financially possible.
This would allow us to obtain more info on community
activities/opportunities that we could be a part of.
• It will also provide us stronger ties to our community.
Email newsletter every other month to our key founders,
donors and sponsors.
Send out parking passes to major donors for some of our larger
events to see the positives of their investments.
• TOPIC: Soccer
o VISION: At this time soccer is our greatest strength because of our
fields and participation level. We need to increase revenues through
participation in both recreation players and select players while
adding tournaments for both. YYSA needs to be a revenue producer
to the overall Sozo budget.
Do more promotion to increase our recreation league numbers
to 1,250.
Promote CrossFire to 350 players.
Make a connection with other city recreation soccer programs
and create partnerships with them.
• Use Bob and Todd as a liaison to help train coaches and
do clinics for youth soccer.
• Work with Washington Soccer and Yakima School
District to develop a relationship that is positive for all of
us. We should be able to get grant money, make a
positive impact on our kids and increase our
participation numbers.
• Reorganize our soccer program to run efficiently and
help them grow with Sozo Sports support.
• TOPIC: Staff
o VISION: Develop a staff that is versatile, team -oriented, cross -trained
and committed to working together as we grow.
Do weekly staff meetings with all staff and encourage
everyone to share their thoughts and ideas. We will make
greater progress when we can get to the point where we are
all working together.
Push for everyone to share information.
Cross -train and invest in our employees because they will be
our biggest strength down the road.
Encourage relationships with other facilities to learn from visits
and collaboration.
• Develop a one -minute elevator talk that all staff uses when we
come across people who want to know what we do. All staff
means everyone working in our office, security, and maintenance.
• Develop processes to doing events to ensure we are consistent
and efficient in the way that we operate. It is important that we
are organized and knowledgeable at doing events for us to grow
and develop trust in our market.
Develop employee policies and procedures to avoid any
misunderstanding when employment issues come up.
Develop Sozo Park Complex policies and procedures so our guests
visiting the park clearly understand our rules.
• Develop an emergency plan for our complex and start training all
of our employees on it. Because we are a public facility this is
something that needs to be done ASAP.
• Develop an employee manual to ensure we are in compliance
with laws and create policies that all employees understand.
• Do a full financial audit by Lorri and myself of all expenditures to
determine what can be eliminated to improve the botton line.
* Start bidding all large dollar amount supplies to ensure we are
getting the best possible pricing.
TOPIC: Create new revenue streams
o VISION:
6 Work with YYSA, Washington Youth soccer, Yakima Sports
Commission and local leagues to create more tournaments
throughout the year. 2020 will have 3 new tournaments as
a result of working together.
Create an adult soccer tournament with partners this year
in the month of July when things are less busy. This
tournament will be more than soccer. We will also include
area wine, beer and Saturday night entertainment. The
goal will be to attract many westside teams to the
tournament. We will need to sell more than soccer to
achieve this goal.
Book as many as 20 new events/receptions in 2020 (some
may happen in 2021). Within 4 years I would like to be at
40 Saturdays booked in our gym.
Find multiple Hispanic promoters to do smaller Hispanic
Concerts/Dances in our gym.
Work on doing a Hispanic Music Festival in the asphalt lot
east of fields 1 and 2. Or asphalt parking area south of
fields 8-9.
Work with a promoter to do an outdoor concert this
July/August. . It is my belief that the Concert should be
country of classic rock for the best results.
Use events to recruit future donors.
• Develop our own Festival that can become a big fundraising
event for us. We need to pick a festival (theme) that is not
being done on a date that will be good for us. We will need
to involve Food, Beer and wine to make revenue. We could
schedule it on the same weekend we already have
something going on to help us sell more tickets. If we are
wanting to get this off the ground for this July we will need
to get started on this soon. Research all the pros and cons
of doing a festival to make sure it will be profitable. It will
be a must that we sell enough tickets and sponsorships for
this to be profitable for us.
• Hire a sponsorship/partner salesperson on commission
only.
Hire a grant writer to help us find funds for both Sozo and
YYSA. We have a lot of positives that should help them be
successful in finding us funds.
Topic: YYSA for 2020-21 Seasonal year
o VISION:
* Continue to work with Washington Youth Soccer on the "Get in
the Game Grant"
* Which leverages up to $450k in resources for increased
soccer registrations. Defining the programming for
Central Washington and architecting leagues that we
can fill with players and teams is essential to our success
and the possible funding of equipment and staffing (that
was round 2 of the grant request).
Educate and instruct
• Investing in younger coaches, bringing education of the
game to the forefront and making it a centerpiece of
excellence
* Leagues in the valley are a sign up and compete affair
but not a program that features education in its
development pathway
• Parents are enthusiastic about our approach to teaching
not only the player but the sidelines on the game in a
positive manner
* We have 15 candidates for "Grass Roots" and "D"
license training lined up for June certification, a record
for YYSA in the past 15 years.
Increase retention of the recreational player (the previous 3
years YYSA has suffered a 66% attrition each year)
• Simply reaching the national average of 10-15% per year
would increase our registrations significantly. Transition
from Spring to Fall was promising, we were able to
increase retention 17% even with a competing league.
Early questionnaire results indicate our return for Spring
in 2020 will be even higher.
Expand on all programs and build out the Select (local) level of
play
• Considering we have over 40,000 school aged children in
the greater Yakima valley, a healthy soccer organization
registers 20% of its school base
Refine and clarify the current programs into a simple
registration pathway
Current in-house rebates are being reviewed for
effectiveness and will be relaunched with simpler
language and a better registration format. Smart phone
(designed, not adapted) registration is coming to the
current US Youth registration platform which will be an
immense help.
CONCLUSION: I would love to achieve this list but know it may be bit aggressive.
As I go into our budget process I would like to meet certain goals that would help
us operate without as much concern for cash flow:
• Increase sponsorship sales by $100,000.
• Increase usage in the gym for events by $60,000. Receptions, Flat Shows,
Trade Shows, Quinceaneras and Hispanic dances.
• Increase New Sporting Events: Soccer (adults or Kids), LAX, running events
and maybe pickleball $40,000.
• Outdoor Non -Sporting Events- Hispanic concert/dance, Country or Classic
rock concert. $40,000.00
• Grant writing: I think if we find the right person we will do well and this
number may be low. $10,000.
• YYSA/Crossfire: Increase efficiencies, increase tournament revenue and
increase participation numbers. $225,000.
• Increase government Lodging tax revenue from $7,500 to $40,000.
• Increase to current events revenue by more participation and efficiencies.
$10,000.
• Online donations. $50,000.
• Festival revenue year 1 - $35,000.
With help from our team, I believe we will be able to do this. We could build a -
strong base for our future with $610,000 added revenue.
